IAmAn atheist AMA

I know you are probably shocked, but it is true. I am an Atheist, or "nogodnik", right here on Reddit, and I will be here to answer your questions about these strange folk. Do not be afraid.

Edit: For those of you who are not familiar with the concept, an Atheist is defined as a man who does not submit himself to the will of the gods.

I heard you don't exist in foxholes. Have you tried going in one and testing if you'll disappear?

There are no Atheists in foxholes because we don't believe in foxholes.

Have you thought about starting a subreddit for Atheists? I think it could be a good opportunity for facilitating mature, thoughtful and illuminating discourse, not to mention help dispel some of the stereotypes about Atheists.

They've done that and it got taken over by a load of Agnostics, you should start a subreddit called /trueatheists/

Is it true that there's a secret sect of atheists on this very website?

Is it true that atheists know everything with absolute certainty? They are human but claim that because of "such-and-such", that "such-and-such" can't be. I think they call it "fluocgkiuc". What does that stuff mean? Does it mean they are smrat and i r teh dum?

Shut up, you stupid idiot. Such-and-such is just an absurd fairy tale.

What are you talking about?! I hear people saying and talking about "such-and-such" or "so-and-so" all the time. Where do you live? In a little house on the prairie?

I don't understand how you can go through life without the shiney light of Baby Jesus to light the hallway

Babies don't make very good flashlights anyway. They taste great with BBQ sauce, though.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you enjoy pretending to be offended after people say "God Bless you" when you sneeze?

AdamAtlasOP•

HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY GET OFFENDED BY THAT?

STOP OPPRESSING ME

How do you know when to stop wiping if there's no God to tell you?

A TRUE ATHEIST NEVER STOPS WIPING.
